Abstract
The functional coatings play a critical role in many fields. To obtain difunctional composite coatings with low infrared emissivity and electrostatic dissipation (ESD) property, the composite coatings reinforced by aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and ESD carbonaceous fiber (CF) hybrid pigments were prepared, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared emissometer and insulation resistance tester. The effects of Al doping ratio of AZO, pigment adding amount and pigment type on the infrared emissivity and surface resistivity of the composite coating have been studied. The results confirmed that AZO of 7at.% doping concentration has lower infrared emissivity, and the infrared emissivity of AZO and CF coatings decreases with the increase of filler content. When AZO and CF are mixed at 1:1, the surface resistivity of the coating is 6380 Ω, which is much lower than that of any single pigment coating. Their synergy effect was contributed to form a continuous conductive path in the coating, enhance the tunnel current and obtain low surface resistivity for electrostatic dissipation. This work provides a new strategy for developing difunctional composite coatings with low infrared emissivity and electrostatic dissipation property.
